The Navajo County Fair is Coming to an end

Alright, this maybe a long post with lots of pictures, but I think its time to spill the beans (as they say).
The final results of all the projects I entered. I just hope I got good pictures...You will find that a lot of the projects are ones that I have posted before ...The Halloween project/table top holiday decor was made just for a fair entry, as I have NEVER EVER entered anything in a contest or fair or any such things/places.
So with that being said :

Aug. 7, 2011, I posted the Big 3D letter "W" along with the crackers - filled with rice

Yeah I made the little school house into a White Chapel....I put them together Making

A wedding decor center piece entry at the fair.....

And....

Do you see the 1st Place Blue Ribbon attached !!!

Ok so now I have

2 ~ 2nd place Red Ribbons

2 ~ 1st Place Blue Ribbons

I am so excited about this I can hardly keep the tears from rolling down my face.

I was just struck with excitement.

It was crazy to enter these small projects, something I love to do and actually be recognized and received ribbons like this... OMG ... did they judge it right? did someone swap ribbons? there is no way that MY hobby/projects could ever be worthy of any kind of recognition.

I just thought I would enter my paper crafts just for people to see my creations, something that I have such a passion for.....

This little Cottage is so versatile, I have used it as a little summer cottage
& a haunted looking house and now its a all included "package deal"
Its got the box for a table top Ginger Bread House Lantern (with a battery operated tea light, then a cookie mix and a cookie cutter with some decorations to go on the cookies, this will make a great home made gift as a gift !!!

Oh, do you see what the judges thought of this one?

Yep a 1st Place Blue Ribbon

&

a Purple and White Ribbon ~ Best of Show

Now for what you have all been waiting for..... What did you get on the Halloween Decor?

I went back to the fair again today to help my local Stamp'n up Rep. She had some 'make and takes', she asked a few of us to volunteer teaching new techniques, new ideas and just be an all around people person to help keep on top of things ....

This when I had a chance to chat with the gal that works on the Fair Board for the Open Class division.

She said that some of my work that I entered is certainly State Fair Quality !!!

So now is the time for me to pass-out, someone please pinch me, I must be dreaming !!!

With that being said, I go tomorrow (Sunday) in the early evening to collect my projects and ribbons...

But at this time...if I want, I can hand over any projects that I would like to send to the Arizona State Fair.

You have to understand a miner detail in this; it is that the State Fair is held in Phoenix, AZ

and that's a 3 hour drive (each way) to enter my projects there... but from what I understand the State Fair board has someone come pick all the items that would like to go to the state level. The projects are gone for about 5 ~ 6 weeks, but what am I going to do with these right now anyway?

So

to this gal that will add it to the State Fair transport and when it's all said and done, its $2.00 per entry... so why not?

I am so proud of you Katie!!!! All your projects look even better in person, if that's possible!!! I would think your best of show items would be great for the state fair and some of your scrapbook pages, they are so cute!

MOM!! You are crazy! I love them all and well you knew that already! I already told you that you are an amazing crafter and I am so happy that you showed me your entries and got a second opinion through me! It means a lot! I told you that you would do well!! Dont ever doubt yourself!
